"In this fresh and masterful rendition of Sophocles' timeless drama, the curse laid on Oedipus still lingers and haunts a younger age. Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, is an uncommon heroine who challenges the King of Thebes with her convictions in a brutal test of wills that leaves few unhurt. She confronts the king for the right to bury her own brother, and her emotions are high. Antigone, who is resolute but doomed, demonstrates her inner fortitude throughout the play. Law and morality are two topics that Antigone brings up that are just as pertinent today as they were more than 2000 years ago. Whether this is your first or twentieth reading, Antigone will affect you in a way that few works of literature can."
